The Viking Serpent: Serpent Worship, Sacred Geometry, and Secrets of the Celtic Church in Norway

The huge take home here is that the Celts were in the habit of organizing habitations along artificial geometry. We have seen plenty of this going back past Stonehenge but little understanding of why.

The choice of the pentagon is interesting and needs to be confirmed elsewhere as well. This could turn out useful in terms of additional discoveries.

The particular importance of Glastonbury is also cleared up here..

The Viking Serpent: Serpent Worship, Sacred Geometry, and Secrets of the Celtic Church in Norway

Dan Brown wrote The Da Vinci Code, inspired by Henry Lincoln and his two co-authors’ The Holy Blood and the Holy Grail.
The Norwegian researcher Harald Boehlke was inspired by the same book.
Lincoln’s tantalizing bait was religion and sacred geometry—specially
the sacred pentagram.

In the opening scene of The Da Vinci Code, Dan Brown
featured a dying man who had inscribed a pentagram onto his stomach with
his own blood. Religion, Sacred geometry, and suspense were the
ingredients that kept audiences spellbound. But, it was mainly fiction.

What Harald found, however, is not fiction. In researching Norway’s
Viking history, and Norway’s conversion to Christianity, he was led to
profound discoveries. These surpassed by far even the astonishing
geometry discovered on the blood-soaked soil of the Languedoc area of
southern France, where the gnostic Cathars had been killed by the
thousands by The Catholic Church and The Templars had many of their
strongholds.

A completely different story regarding Norway’s conversion was
revealed, rather than the hitherto accepted one. Harald discovered what
is now called The Norwegian Pentagram, and other enormous geometric
patterns with symbolic measurements, constructed with the help of cities
built during the conversion years (ca.900-1130) to act as markers. And
lo and behold, it was seen that Norway had not been converted by the
Roman Catholics as had always been the accepted story.

Astonishing Discovery of Sacred Geometry and Ancient Symbols

The pentagram is for many a mysterious, foreboding, fateful and
intimidating symbol. The Catholic Church must take credit for turning
the pentagram from a symbol of the sacred feminine to a symbol of the
devil. But the pentacle's demonic interpretation is historically
inaccurate.

It has had many meanings in many cultures, tracing back in time many
thousand years. The use of 1.618, called the Golden Section, or Golden
Mean in sacred architecture is prevalent throughout Europe.

Pythagoreans considered the pentagram an emblem of perfection or the
symbol of the human being. In a way, you might say it is the fingerprint
of God. The pentagram incorporates the Golden Section 1.168. It is
constructed using this number, and this number only. It can be said the
pentagram is the visualization of the Golden Section 1.618.

This number is a large part of Holy Geometry. It permeates creation;
It defines the spirals of a Nautilus shell, snowflakes, the galaxies,
honeycombs. It is in many ways the number of creation as it is also
mirrored in the proportions of the human body.

After Harald’s discovery of the ‘Norwegian Pentagram’ – enormous
geometric patterns with symbolic measurements, and ancient spiritual
sites in Norway creating a pentagram across the landscape— a larger
mystery now confronted him: who had placed this sacred geometry across
the whole of southern Norway?

Who may have created a symbolic pentagram in Norway? (From The Viking Serpent by Harald S Boehlke)

The sacred geometry was not limited to the pentagram. Studying the
Sagas and other historical works led him to discover more geometry.
Strange myths and fables that he had dismissed earlier suddenly seemed
to make sense, leading to one exciting discovery after the other. The
books The Norwegian Pentagram and its English translation The Viking Serpent came into being.

Startling History: Celts brought Christianity to Norway?

The research showed that the Celts brought Christianity to Norway, a
fact that at best has been played down in our time of ‘enlightenment’.
The important part the Celts played in the uniﬁcation and christening of
Norway has been hidden behind a veil pulled down by the Roman Catholic
Church as they maneuvered into position within Norway, as in the rest of
Europe.

In the year 1000 CE, Norway was still a ‘heathen’ country, and
contrary to popular belief, it was not the Roman Catholic Church that
had struggled to convert the feared Vikings to Christianity. Abundant
evidence was found that suggested certain groupings within the Celtic
Church had converted the Vikings to Christendom instead. These were
Gnostics from the Celtic Church, inﬂuenced by the serpent worshipping
Ophites from Egypt and Syria who used the serpent as a symbol of Christ.

[ This makes ample sense considering that England and Norway were then ruled by the Norwegians up until 1066 and then by the Normans who were also Norse as well. arclein ]

After Emperor Constantine in 325CE sanctioned the Christian faith
which believed Jesus being the son of god, the Gnostics, Arians, Ophites
and other sects were persecuted and dispersed. The persecution of the
Gnostics was mainly the work of the influential group that later evolved
into what we today call the Roman Catholic Church.

From the Middle East, the ideas and beliefs of the Gnostic Arians and
Ophites disseminated towards the ‘outskirts’ of Europe. The Arians went
as far north as the Iberian Peninsula, while the Ophites apparently
found their way to the British Isles where, according to legend, St.
Patrick was sent to Ireland to ‘guide’ the Celts back to the ‘true
faith’. While there, he took time to banish all “serpents” from Ireland
some time during the fifth century, apparently without too much success.
It is interesting to note that there have never been serpents in
Ireland. Patrick’s feat is therefore all the more interesting. The
‘serpents’ he attempted to banish were probably bipedal – those of the
Celtic Church who revered the ‘serpent’ Jesus.

The ‘snakes’ that St Patrick drove out of Ireland
were the Druidic priests who had serpents tattooed on their forearms.

Secret Arrangements, Religion and Kingmakin

From the ninth century, Norwegian Vikings had settled in the Celtic
fringe of the British Isles. From the Orkneys in the north down through
Northumberland, Cumbria and Wales as well as areas in Ireland, they made
new lives for themselves, mainly as farmers and artisans (a fact that
did not exclude the occasional ‘Viking raid’).

[ thus we have the kolbrin bible and its community brought into Cornwall from Lake Superior. arclein]

The heathen Norwegians came into contact with the Gnostic Celtic
Church, who from 935-1015 CE, made secret arrangements and engaged in a
joint venture with no fewer than three Vikings of royal descent intent
upon ascending the Norwegian throne. The Viking kings-to-be made plans
to unite Norway as one kingdom, with themselves on the throne. In return
for Celtic monetary and administrative aid the Viking kings gave them
‘permission’ to pursue their own ambitions: to convert the Asatru pagans
(ancient Norse religion) to Celtic Christianity. The Celtic Church was
intent on using Christian magic to consecrate and conquer the land and
its people, inaugurating one king and one religion. They traded their
knowledge of how to pacify a rebellious population by introducing
religion, piousness, and ecclesiastical laws enabling their Viking
mentors to ascend the throne, and keep it.

The Celts ﬁrst made contact with the son of the Norwegian Viking-king
Harald ‘Fairhair’, the young Haakon. During the ﬁrst half of the 10th
Century, Haakon was brought up at the court of the Wessex king
Athelstan.

Monks from the monastery at Glastonbury had given Haakon his
education, and upon the death of his father, Haakon returned to Norway
with his Celtic helpers, conquered the throne, and began an enormous
secret undertaking which was not to be revealed for a thousand years.

[ this opens another avenue of inquiry. The Kolbrin could well contain Gnostic scripture itself. However the lack of reference to Christianity makes this suspect. - arclein ]

After the death of Haakon (ca. 961 CE), the Celtic clergy cooperated
with the famed Viking king-to-be, Olav Tryggvason and later with Olav
the Holy. These three constitute the most renowned of the Norwegian
Viking rulers.

Sacred Symbols, 666, and the Golden Ratio

When the Celts arrived in Norway, they founded cities and monasteries
as sacred markers. They and their Viking collaborators removed old
cities that did not ﬁt into the sacred pattern—a pattern that resulted
in a gigantic pentagram stretching across southern Norway.

The drawing of a man's body in a
pentagram suggests relationships to the golden ratio. By Heinrich
Cornelius Agrippa, circa 1510. (Public Domain)

It was invisible unless one knew how to utilize the holy mathematical
formulae of ‘The Golden Ratio’. Only the initiated knew it was there,
and only the initiated could trace it using the monasteries and the ﬁve
medieval cities of Norway: Nidaros, Tunsberg, Bergen, Stavanger and
Hamar.

In The Viking Serpent, Harald demonstrates how they were all laid down according to the ‘Golden Ratio’.

Norway’s two round churches mark the two extremities of the main
geometric marker line. The resulting pentagram is inscribed in a
circle measuring 666 miles in circumference - the number of the Beast
symbolizing Christ as the serpent, as shown in the Gnostic Nag Hammadi
texts found in the Egyptian desert in 1945.

These texts describe Jesus as the one “called the Beast” (From the
Nag Hammadi Library: The interpretation of “the beast” is “the
instructor.” For it was found to be the “wisest of all beings.”) Thus,
the Celts introduced their Christianity to Norway, leaving behind a
trail of serpent imagery. The Celtic clergy’s use of the ‘Number of the
Beast’ reﬂects their occult use of ‘magic’ and their

Serpents Abound

The saga writer Snorre Sturluson noted that king Olav (the third ally
of the Celtic Church), on his return to Norway from the British Isles
in 1015 CE, used the serpent as a symbol on his helmet and banner. In an
old saga of which only fragments remain, the burial of St. Olav also
reﬂects the number 666. The stave churches, unique to Norway, were built
during these times.

These churches were decorated with serpent imagery in abundance:
woodcarvings of writhing coiling snakes climbing the portals, and from
all gables one can witness – even today – serpents raising their heads
with playing tongues.

Another of the many interesting facts regarding Celtic inﬂuences is
that the coastline of Norway boasts numerous large Celtic stone crosses.
Norway is the only other country besides the ‘Celtic fringe’ on the
British Isles that has such crosses.

Interesting too is the story of a Celtic princess, Sunniva, escaping
barbaric ‘suitors’ by setting to sea in a frail Celtic wicker-and-hide
craft. According to lore, she landed with her entourage on a small
island on the ﬁercest part of the Norwegian coast and became Norway’s
very ﬁrst saint.

On this same tiny inhospitable island on the ﬁercest stretch of the
Norwegian coast, Norway’s ﬁrst bishopric was erected in 1068 CE. In
997CE, the Celtic clergy and their second ally the Viking King Olav
Tryggvason, founded the city of Nidaros, which was the capital of Norway
for hundreds of years. It is interesting to note that Nidaros can be
translated into the Gaelic language as meaning “old serpent wisdom”,
‘Neidr’ being serpent, and ‘ros’ being old knowledge.

The
sacred geometry of Norway does not limit itself to the enormous
pentagram: According to old legends, a certain Norwegian island called
Sandøy, or ‘Sandy Island’ is connected to Scotland under the sea. It
just so happens that the northwestern upper point of the enormous
pentagram falls upon a small island called Sandsøy, or ‘Sandy Island’.
On this island, facing the sea, we ﬁnd the Dollstein cave, which has an
intriguing history. Myths tell of treasures hidden in the cave, sought
by the Orkney earl Ragnvald in 1127. Even myths about King Arthur are
weaved into the island’s lore!

The sacred geometry in the landscape of Norway is so ingeniously
contrived, it is difﬁcult for us to understand how it was done.
Certainly, the builders’ skills of surveying far surpassed anything
historians have been willing to give them credit for. The Norwegian
Pentagram and the Viking Serpent will undoubtedly prove to be important
additions to our understanding of our forefathers’ skills and beliefs,
as well as lifting the veil that the Christian church, historians and
archaeologists have lowered over our eyes.
